PHOTO France has its annual "models agencies issue". It is full of nude pictures, as every year, but most of them are taken from the models' books, so they were published earlier. Each agency is represented, with a short list of its star models and of its future stars. You can get the idea of the whole issue design from the pic above, Tetyana Brazhnyk @Marilyn, photographed by Satoshi Saikusa (bigger scan here).

The issue gets much attention in the trade because the lists of the "star models" were made by the agencies themselves. Inclusion on the short list does not generate automatically success; but non-inclusion almost certainly generates failure. If your own agency does not believe you're going to be a star, who will?

KARIN - our future stars are Marie Meyer, Anna Maria Cseh, Candice Viale, Florencia Fabiano and Victoria. (Note - in my humble opinion, Anna Maia Cseh should have appeared on the current stars list, she is certainly more working these days than Estella Warren).

METROPOLITAN - our future stars are Karin, Asia, Renda, Ania, Eva B., Milla, Marta. (Note - don't you hate agencies whose models have only first names, like dogs?) (Second note - the "current" list dressed by Metropolitan is full of "future" stars - Laura Paketova, Zanna Taskova, Jaimee Gong. Could it be Metropolitan simply has no current stars at all?)
